How could a child possibly break a piece of glass that was manufactured by a gorilla, the strongest and toughest beast.

None of us knows how this will work but considering even a minor refresh was seen as “stupid and unlikely” I’m feeling pretty smart right about now. And knowing Nintendo I wouldn’t expect a cheaper version of an updated model but it could happen.

Who thought this thing wasn't going to start getting hardware revisions a after a couple of years on the market like literally every other Nintendo handheld?

I think he's confusing revisions with people mocking those who say there'll be a handheld or console only switch that'll be as strong as the ps4 pro and run 8 hours and be XL and need new joycons or whatever mix of those crazy things some nerds want.

I'd buy a new Switch revision that was either significantly smaller or significantly larger. Right now it's in the perfect middle ground that makes me not give a poo poo about ever using it undocked.

From a pure functionality perspective, Vita is missing buttons and has expensive memory.

A homebrewed Vita has access to all PSP and PS1 games :colbert:

(and obviously the basic SNES, GBA, etc. emulation stuff too)

There’s an adapter for homebrewed Vitas to use SD cards!

As far as I know switches being manufactured in and in the wild now already have fixed the exploit by attaching some limiter chip which burns itself out after one flash or something and then makes access to diagnostic mode impossible. I thought I read that.

Yeah that part is a bit poo poo. You can map the back touch screen to work as shoulder buttons but that is obviously pretty garbage unless you only need to press them very rarely.

Hotline Miami and Spelunky, both of which should be on Switch.

I can't see a revision to the Switch hardware being anymore than a better screen, better battery life, and maybe bigger internal storage.

There are too many accessories that fit the exact size of the switch, including the Dock that they sell separately and Labo that is built for the exact screen size.

Couldn't you imagine the confusing with two sets of accessories for the different styles of the Switch?

I'm just against using nuclear weapons on deserts to create mineable glass. I don't care if they are uninhabited and I don't care if they train a gorilla to pull the lever. The long term environmental costs are too high

I don't fully know what this means, but goddamn does it sound cool. Nintendo added limiters to the switch, limiters meant to be destroyed.

There's no reason Nintendo wouldn't have joy cons that are only compatible on the new switch. I'm not saying that's what's happening at all, but you must be fairly new to the company if you can't see them pulling that caper off

My money is on simply better battery and a marginally thinner profile though. Yes I'll buy it on launch, leave me alone

Scroll, then. There are other posts than these.


The switch is literally top of the line portable tech, as in, no one else besides nvidia is doing that type of chipset, and even the "revised" x2 that the switch is from isn't for consumers, so don't expect much from this.

There's also the possibility that this isn't a PS4 Pro or even a DS Lite situation and more of GameCube DOL-101 situation where it's the same system, but with just minute hardware changes.

Yeah, I remember bringing up the X2 when discussion of a possible New Switch came up ages ago. I read into is a bit since then, and it turns out X2 has far too much power draw for a portable. They aren't designed to run off a battery, they're supposed to run on a continuous power supply, like in a car.

God damnit, I've been so excited about the prospect of getting a Switch for the holidays this year (my fiancee has asked me to not buy it myself yet so we can "pay off the wedding first" or whatever. I know, I know, I should leave her), and now I'm not sure if I should just wait for the revision.

Thread, should I still pull the trigger on the Switch v1 and just upgrade later, potentially?

I know this is God's Perfect Console, so I literally just need one person to tell me to get the Switch as soon as possible and I totally will.

Considering we don't even know what the revision will entail at this point, much less a release date, just get it now.
